Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 11
Pale, green-tinged yellow. Captivating, high-pitched aromas of lime oil, crushed stone and flowers. Juicy, tight and penetrating, with lovely clarity and class to its flavors of lime, minerals and stone. At once wiry and dense; this distinctly low-fat, youthfully imploded version of Meursault finishes with lovely purity and floral lift. This really benefited from Jobard's decision to harvest early in 2009.

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
